KX3, FSK D, and Paddles

[Elecraft mailing list]

With my KX3, I normally use AFSK with a SignaLink USB; however, I  
occasionally use the KXPD3 to work DX. I've always been under the impression  that I
could only send RTTY using the KXPD3 and not with my external paddle  
[HOOKED TO A WinKeyer USB]. I finally read the manual (again!!!) and realized I  
needed to plug my paddle directly to the KX3 (and not to the WinKeyer USB)
to  send with the external paddle. In other words, I must use the INTERNAL
KX3 KEYER  to use the FSK D feature. I tried it, and it works.
 
Am I missing something here -- is there a way to use an external keyer  
(with the KX3 Menu setting set at "HAND"?
 
Hey, I'm a slow learner!!!

As far as I know, Elecraft K3 and KX3 only support paddle input to
digital modes with a paddle connected directly to the K3 or KX3. That's
also the way it works for programming CW memories. I use a WinKey USB
with N1MM+ for FD and CQP, and a YCCC SO2R box (with WinKey emulation)
at home. Neither will allow me to program memories within the radio, so
I keep a second paddle on the side, connected directly to the K3.
